Your words back at you, what you said after reading of one of my posts:

"Your words stop me."

I knew there was something more than a few feet deep that drew our writings, and a portion of our lives, into each others'. Here's my list, counting only places I've lived 6 months or longer:

Charlottesville, VA (Yes, *that* Charlottesville. I was born there.)

Ann Arbor, MI

Halifax, NS, Canada

Lennoxville, QC, Canada

Chicago, IL

Madison, WI

Fayetteville, AR

Berkeley, CA

Ann Arbor (again)

Merritt Island, FL

Washington, DC metro area

Ann Arbor is the one I consider my original hometown, though I have now spent almost half my life in and around DC.

Different itinerary, similar frequency (wordplay intended)

Distinct set of beliefs, but with definite and at times powerful meeting points.

Thanks for sharing more.

Thank you, Wayne. I've long believed relocating/traveling is the front door of wisdom.

I agree with Susan.❤️

Thanks for sharing your journey.

Now I see the "how" and "why" to match the "what" you do.

I am so grateful to have been drawn into your circle. Your words feed my soul. 😌🙏🏽
